Thanks.

In other words, is there enough metal in a .323 to cut up to .338.?

I know that there is a minimum but just don't know if .015" is enough.

A quick call to JES will provide you with a solid answer to your question, plus any other questions you might have.

I know I had a 30-06 that I couldn't bring back to good by cleaning the bore. I asked about reboring to 8mm-06 and was told I would have to go at least 338-06. You couldn't just rebore one caliber higher. It had a pencil barrel and I really didn't want to remove that much metal.

JES is not set up to rebore to .323/8mm

So you wound up with a 338 WSM?


Throttle fixes everything. If it doesn't fix the problem, it’ll end the suspense.
